Kickstarter: 3 Questions with Taty Gomez of Delusion Playing Cards

Delusion Playing Cards is a minimal and elegant deck designed for magic and cardistry by Taty Gomez, a Spanish magician from Sevilla. The goal was to create the perfect deck in his own style and share it with the magic community. After two years of development and brainstorming with the help of Manuel Jesus Martín and other friends, the Delusion deck is now seeking funds on Kickstarter.

The deck sports a predominant English Green colorway with a hint of teal, giving the deck a touch of elegance. Delusion features a custom Ace of Spades, jokers and card backs with the logo showcased prominently on the card backs, surrounded by a circle that defines the deck. The courts and pips are pretty much standard but recolored to give the deck a consistent look.

Last week, we had a chat with Taty about the inspiration behind Delusion Playing Cards, support from the community and his favorite flourish and cardistry deck.

What is your inspiration behind the Delusion Playing Cards? How did you come up with the idea?
Like a lot of magicians, I love playing cards, and also I like the design. Two years ago, I thought to my self if I can have my own deck of cards. That would be great, because that deck will be perfect for me! And then, I started designing it.

About the design, I wanted to create a deck with a minimal and elegant design, but also with a vibrant and fresh view. I think that the color of the deck matches perfectly with this idea, out of the classic blue or red decks. Another idea is that the two diamonds in the center of the back. They are a minimal and symmetrical version of my own logo. And there are also two letters, that are my initials: T for Taty, and G for Gomez. This is a little and fun detail that I wanted to put on the cards.

We first noticed the deck on Instagram. What do you think of the community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting so far?
I’m really grateful and surprised with all the help that I received when I started the campaign. I never thought that I would reach the 50% of the goal in two days. I hope that new backers will continue to help support this project, and we will be able to get Delusion FUNDED. It will be crazy for me.

Finally, what are your favorite playing card decks?
And about decks, I like minimal and elegant decks, because I use them for magic. I like decks with classic face cards, because I use the deck for magic tricks. This is the explanation of the classic face cards of the delusion deck. If I want to make flourishes for a video, I like decks like Sirius-B or Virtuoso, because of their colours. I also like Fontaines because of their minimal lovely design.

If you liked what you read here and would like to support the Delusion Playing Cards, head to Kickstarter here! Pledge starts at $12 and the deck will be printed by Hanson Chien Production Co. on Legendary finish with Luxury stock.

3 Questions with Ethan Ricketts of ECLIPSE Playing Cards

Pulse playing cards is a space-themed deck launching on Kickstarter 25th March by ECLIPSE Playing Cards. Based in Australia, ECLIPSE Playing Cards is headed by Ethan Ricketts, who realised the creative potential a deck could have after watching a video on YouTube about a particular deck of cards. He wanted to create his own deck and ECLIPSE was born. According to Ethan,

The name comes from my deep interest in space, ever since I was young. I wanted to create a space-themed deck for my first deck, which is exactly what I did with the ECLIPSE - 'originals.'

Pulse features a cool modern artwork with 3D layering and shading based on a pulse of energy, similar to a heartbeat or sine wave. The layers represent the propagation of energy as it moves through space and time. We had a quick chat with Ethan about the inspiration behind Pulse Playing Cards, support from the community, and his favourite flourish and deck.

What is your inspiration behind the Pulse Playing Cards? How did you come up with the idea? 

The inspiration for the pulse Playing Cards comes from my fascination with energy and the way it moves. I wished to capture the propagation of energy through space and time in this deck. In order to do this, I wanted to create a 3D effect through the use of layering, shadows, and colouring to really make the pulse effect stand out. I took inspiration from Riffle Shuffle's Sirius B decks for this effect. 

We first noticed the deck on Instagram. What do you think of the playing card community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting so far? 

I feel like the playing card community is generally a really safe and welcoming space for upcoming designers like myself. I receive comments on my design, as well as plenty of private messages giving feedback, praise, or suggestions. I've forged some really solid friendships through the playing card community on Instagram, and overall, I really like the positivity and support that circulates throughout this community. 

Finally, what are your favourite card flourish and playing card decks? 

Truth be told, I'm not very good at playing with the cards I create. I've never excelled at cardistry nor magic because I've always focused on the design of playing cards over playing with them. I want to create something for other people to use and enjoy. That being said, my favourite card flourish is the basic spring. I believe it shows how mobile and full of energy playing cards can be. 

They get the best reactions in public because people can't seem to piece together how little pieces of paper and card can go flying through the air in unison! Spring is my go-to simple flourish. Its short, sharp, and sweet. My favourite decks are the Mono - heXa's by Luke Wadey, Monarchs by Theory11, and Chocolate Pi by Kings Wild Project.
